DSEFS authentication

DSEFS works with secured DataStax Enterprise clusters.

spark-defaults.conf

The default
location of the spark-defaults.conf file
depends on the type of installation:

Package installations

/etc/dse/spark/spark-defaults.conf

Tarball installations

installation_location/resources/spark/conf/spark-defaults.conf

DSEFS works with secured DataStax Enterprise clusters.

DSEFS authentication with secured clusters

Authentication is required only when it is enabled in the cluster. DSEFS on secured
clusters requires the DseAuthenticator, see Configuring DSE Unified Authentication. Authentication is
off by default.

Optional:
If you want to use this method, but do not have privileges to write to
core-default.xml, copy this file to any location
path and set the environment variable to point to the file
with:

export HADOOP2_CONF_DIR=path

DSEFS shell

Providing authentication credentials while using the DSEFS shell is as easy as in other DSE
tools. The DSEFS shell supports different authentication methods listed below in priority
order. When more than one method can be used, the one with higher priority is chosen. For
example when the DSE_TOKEN environment variable is set and the DSEFS shell
is started with a username and password set as environment variables in the
$HOME/.dserc file, the provided username and password is used for
authentication as it has higher priority.
